Tufts Energy and Climate Policy Research Seminar 2010-2011
Sponsored by the Economics Department

Launched in Fall 2006, the Energy and Climate Forum was conceived as a means of gauging interest in the topics of climate and energy, an area identified as being particularly promising for development as a cross-university effort. Sponsored by the Department of Economics, the Tufts Institute of the Environment (TIE), and the Fletcher School's Center for International Environment and Resource Policy (CIERP), it will consist of monthly seminars featuring both internal and external speakers addressing critical issues surrounding energy and climate. Topics may include science, engineering, economics, health and the environment, and resources policy and politics.
